Grants Journals To BE Published.

Col Fred Grant is busily engaged in
editing the journals of his fathers tour
around the world. 1t is his present plan,
seconded by the wishes of Mrs. Grant, to
publish this interesting narrative on his
own account. Under the contract with
the publishers of Gen. Grants memoirs
the general stipulated that none of his pa
pers should be made public for three years
from that date. 1t is not said whether
there has been any misunderstanding with
the publishers of the present work, but it
is known that Col. Grant is opposed to en-
tering into any more such arrangements.
The journal, Judging from a general
knowledge of its contents, will be exceed

Faith Beyond Sight.

Each one of the two comedians. Messrs.
Robson and Crane, has little son, and they
are profound admirers oc one another, albeit
they are as unlike as black and white. Master
Stuart Robson Crane is a prodigious ro-
mancer, while on the other hand Master
William Crane Robson is as practical and
as matter of fact lad as you could expect TO
meet in Sabbath days journey. Out at
Omaha the other day the Crane youngster
was telling one of his customary whoppers.
EYES," said he, solemnly, "when was in
Ipswich last sumner l saw a boy lick John
L. Sullivan"
At this bold and bald proposition young
Robson's lower jaw fell about seven inches.
"You don't believe it, eh2" asked young
Crane.

prompt loyalty to his little playmate, "oh,
yes, 1 believe it if you saw it, but wouldn't

A Frugal Mind.

The following has often been told as a joke,
but it really happened in a down town cigar
store the other day A gentleman whom we
will call Smith was buying ten cent cigar
when a seedy acquaintance who may be
called Brown, came in and was invited by
Smith to have a cigar. He of course &C
cepted the cigar and Smith laid down twenty
cents in payment. At this point Brown got
in his fine work. Turning to the dealer he
asked if the cigars just bought were not sold
at the rate of three for qual ter. On the dealer
replying that they We're, he tished out a
nickel, and laying it on the counter re-
marked: well, then, I'll take the third
cigar, if it is all the same to you And he
did, to the unspeakable astonishment of
Smith and the dealer-New York Tribune.

Barnum Knows its Value.

P. 7. Barnum spoke the truth, the whole
truth, when, in addressing body of bust
ness men at Bridgeport, Connecticut, few
days ago, he said: aYou do not, any of you
advertise enough. You: ought to use
printers ink every day. You are asleep
and want your business to run itself.
Standing advertisements in paper COM
mand confidence. The man who for a
year lives in one community and leads a
reputable life, even though he be man Of
moderate ability, will grow in the confidence
and esteem of his fellows. On the same
principle a newspaper advertisement be-
comes familiar in the eyes of the reader.
It may seldom be read, still il makes the
name and business Of the man familiar and
its presence in the columns Of paper in
spires confidence in the stability Of its
enterprise.
